Hello to all the newbies & long time lurker, first time posters
@WAMS we had a massive ivy on the fence on the right side of the garden the neighbour poisoned it in between us buying it and moving in, I was so glad of that as I would never have wanted to poison it but I know it would have been a massive pain to remove if it hadn’t been, I don’t envy you!!
Edit// and thank you @Marlorena I will give her a feed at the weekend, I haven’t fed any of them yet, I wasn’t sure what to use!!
Some pictures I took about 4 years ago. The bottom 2 are a particularly old rose 40+ years. The other 2 pictures are both equally mature established plants but I don't think as old.
Thank you all very much for the welcome 🤗 @ElbFee I am having someone design it. I wouldn’t usually but had decided to for current house as very overlooked and already paid when out of the blue a house came up and we are moving! He won’t be doing the planting scheme though so that is for me. The new garden is quite overgrown at the moment but I can see it was well loved before the last owner became too elderly to cope with it.
A word of caution.. this passion can be quite addictive..😈
Good luck with the ivy @WAMS I tried pulling down some from my previous garden fence panel and gave up pretty quickly.. I feel they are pretty invasive..
How is the weather now? Max temps in mid teens? @SYinUSA
Quick question to anyone that can help. I have a lot of potted roses this year. I remember in the last thread Marlorena said you can put 2 or 3 in a pot as Austin do for a more dramatic display. I was wondering how this compares to putting an obelisk in a pot and growing it on that. Would that give an equally impressive display? I only mention it as I’ve not seen it before until I saw it on the DA website when I was looking at strawberry hill:
Anyone tried this?
I wonder if they have done the same and also put more than one rose in here?
